@ExtinctionR In fact, if I'm reading the data correctly, it seems they phased out that last 500 GWh, compared to the winter of 2024-25, by importing that amount from the UK.The UK did see an increase of 3 TWh last year for wind and 5 TWh for solar, but still had to import itself from nuclear France in the order of 30 TWh for 2025.I can't pinpoint this closure, which is mostly symbolic at this point, to a rise in wind. Meanwhile, their fossil gas use didn't change much at all and still amounted to almost 15 TWh in 2025, half of the total electricity consumption.Source: https://www.energy-charts.info/Source: https://ourworldindata.org/profile/energy/united-kingdomSource: https://ourworldindata.org/profile/energy/ireland
